Well I'm livin' with the mistakes I've made,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',I’m robbin' peter so Paul gets paid,- 'plenty more where I'm from.'I’ve strayed so far from the open road,I've been places my shadow refused to go.

I went to school but they called me slow,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',They couldn't teach me what I needed to know,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',My heart still breaks & my throat it swells,Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.

A song of hope to lift my spirits if you please,Or a tale of old rebellion if you dare,I hope I live to see the day I laugh at days like these,And walk the walk of one without a care.

I'll shift my share but I won't shift the blame,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',I respect my neighbour and expect the same,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',I’ve strayed so far from the open road,I've been places my shadow refused to go.

I don't trust what I can't see,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',But I believe in something higher than me,- ‘plenty more where I'm from',My heart still breaks & my throat it swells,Like a dirty lump o' coal at the New Year bell's.
